5th Oct 2024 Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Won handicap at York (1m2f, good to soft; probably acts on soft) in July; good second in Listed races there (1m2f/1m4f, good to firm) on next two starts, before disappointing favourite at Yarmouth latest; needs to resume improvement now she's returned to a handicap. |

12th Oct 2024 Soft 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Two wins this summer and good placed efforts over C&D (15-runner race at the Ebor meeting) and Doncaster (1m4f) on last two outings; likeable but whether she has enough in hand to win a race like this remains to be seen. |

13th Sep 2024 Good 1m 3f 197y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Two wins from her last four starts, along with two seconds over the extended 1m2f at York and she ran on well from the back in a 15-runner race there on latest outing; unraced beyond that but 1m4f now looks worth a go (despite pedigree) and she comes here having been in career-best form. |
6/1 |

23rd Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |

Returned to form to win at Newmarket (1m2f, good to firm) in June and close second of 15 to Karmology over this C&D (good to soft) next time; back to winning ways at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) three weeks ago; continues to climb the weights but she's clearly thriving; can give another good account. |

Held up; in fine form on soft/heavy ground this autumn and strong-finishing third of 17 at this track two weeks ago showed he is capable of better still, as he met plenty of trouble in running; entire handicap career (14 races) has been spent at about 1m2f and he's not at all sure to get 1m4f on pedigree, but he's shaping as if the new trip is well worth a shot. |

Ran well on AW early this year; had no luck (traffic issues) when midfield at York in July on turf/handicap debut, but easily gained compensation when 6-5 favourite in apprentice race at Haydock (1m2f, good; unraced on firmer) six days ago; has an unchanged mark today, so he's easily the form pick, and there's also plenty of encouragement for 1m4f. |

9st 2lb |
Fifth of 17 over C&D last month (good to soft) before narrowly repelling Titainium at Redcar (1m2f, good); that was off a career-high mark and he's up another 4lb, though perhaps a greater concern is this softer ground. |

Three wins this season, making all at Beverley last month for latest (raced prominently for the other two); good second at that track on latest outing and while he failed to do much in his two races at York, the ground (softer than good) may have been against him; considered. |

Recorded his ninth win when scoring at Southwell (7f, Tapeta) last month and he's run creditably over C&D and at Lingfield since; this is a deeper race than last time but he remains feasibly treated and should be in the thick of things again. |

All three wins came here last winter, the last two over this trip; can miss a beat at the start which he again did when behind two of these at Southwell (1m4f, Tapeta) 16 days ago, but if he can break on terms he has to be of interest back here. |

Never really looked likely to pose a significant threat when fifth of six at York (1m4f, good to firm) a fortnight ago and is now 0-4 for Tim Easterby but will appreciate this ease in grade and has slipped to a tempting mark; goes beyond 1m5f for the first time; worth a second look. |

Ex-Andrew Balding, with both wins as 2yo in 2021; new yard this term, including for a Doncaster third (1m2f, good) but he finished last at this track on starts either side; now back up to 1m4f, over which it's pretty amazing to be reminded that he was fourth in the 2022 Derby; not one to trust. |
